Quantification:

Scope Note:

This property associates an instance of E70 Thing with an instance of E55 Type that describes the type of use that it was actually employed for.

 

It allows the relationship between particular things, both physical and immaterial, and the general methods and techniques of real use to be documented. This may well be different from the intended functional purpose of the instance of E70 Thing (which canbe documented with P103 was intended for (was intention of)). For example, it could be recorded that a particular wooden crate had a general use as a shelf support on a market stall even though it had been originally intended for carrying vegetables.

 

The use of this property is intended to allow the documentation of usage patterns attested in historical records or through scientific investigation (for instance ceramic residue analysis). It should not be used to document the intended, and thus assumed, use of an object.

 
Examples:
  • Tony Gill’s Ford Mustang (E22) had as general usetransportation (E55)
  • Egyptian unglazed vessel used in 2003 study (E22) had as general usecamel milk preparation (E55) (Barnard et al 2007)
